You can use .filter()
method of the Array
object:
var filtered = workItems.filter(function(element) {
// Create an array using `.split()` method
var cats = element.category.split(' ');
// Filter the returned array based on specified filters
// If the length of the returned filtered array is equal to
// length of the filters array the element should be returned
return cats.filter(function(cat) {
return filtersArray.indexOf(cat) > -1;
}).length === filtersArray.length;
});
Some old browsers like IE8 doesn't support .filter()
method of the Array
object, if you are using jQuery you can use .filter()
method of jQuery object.
jQuery version:
var filtered = $(workItems).filter(function(i, element) {
var cats = element.category.split(' ');
return $(cats).filter(function(_, cat) {
return $.inArray(cat, filtersArray) > -1;
}).length === filtersArray.length;
});
